The Myers Way® Smoothies and Juices RECIPES

Copyright Amy Myers, MD® 2015 www.AmyMyersMD.com 3

Thanks for joining my newsletter! I am so excited to share some of my favorite recipes with you. Smoothies and juices are my go-to breakfast and snack foods. They’re quick and easy, can be prepared ahead of time, and can be customized to include as many nutrient-packed, gut-healing, and anti-inflammatory ingredients as you want!

Aside from making mine with dark leafy greens, healthy fats like avocado, and anti-inflammatory foods like ginger, I also like to add supplements. It’s a perfect solution for when I’m on the go and find myself short on time. I’ll throw in a tablespoon or two of collagen, protein powder for an extra boost, or—my favorite—a scoop of a daily probiotic powder. If I don’t have any protein powder readily available, I’ll break open a capsule of Immune Booster and add that to my smoothie or juice too!

You can add any of these supplements to the recipes in this eBook. If you don’t have an autoimmune disease, or if you’ve already gone through 30 days on The Myers Way® and you’re ready to reintroduce a legume- or rice-based protein powder, you can throw in a few scoops for flavor and substance. All of these supplements are available in my online store.

Wishing you great health!Amy Myers, MD

The Myers Way® Smoothies and Juices RECIPES

All of these recipes are free of gluten and dairy. Most are approved on The Myers Way® autoimmune protocol, except for those containing nuts and legumes. Please avoid if you are following The Myers Way®

autoimmune protocol or have known allergies or sensitivities.

If you are ready to introduce grains and legumes back into your diet, or if you are not following The Myers Way® Autoimmune Protocol, I recommend the following protein powders:

- Mend Protein Powder: Great for healing a leaky gut and reducing inflammation in the body.- The Myers Way® Cleanse: For weight loss and detoxification.- Pea Protein: For an extra boost of protein.

If you are following The Myers Way® Autoimmune Protocol, simply replace the protein powder with a scoop of Collagen Hydrolysate.
